Foreign Property Ownership in Ghana
Ghana allows foreign nationals to legally purchase and own real estate through leasehold structures. Unlike many African countries that restrict foreign ownership, Ghana provides clearer legal frameworks that support international investors, expatriates, and members of the diaspora seeking to acquire property.
Foreigners in Ghana typically purchase property through a 50-year or 99-year leasehold arrangement. These ownership structures are renewable and fully transferable, meaning properties can be inherited, sold, or rented out without restrictions. This has made Ghana one of the most attractive real estate markets for foreign investment in West Africa.
Buying property as a foreigner involves straightforward documentation and due diligence, often facilitated by local legal counsel or experienced developers. At developments such as Grand Mirage, the ownership process is standardized with clear titles, transparent contracts, and internationally compliant procedures, giving foreign buyers confidence and security in their real estate investment.
Many foreigners choose to invest in Accra due to consistent rental demand, stable currency returns, and the ability to price rentals in USD. For investors relocating or purchasing remotely, professional building management ensures effortless ownership, maintenance, and tenant services.
Whether you are purchasing for personal use, part-time living, retirement, or financial investment, Ghana offers foreign buyers a secure and accessible property acquisition environment with strong long-term value prospects.
